John Inverdale introduces live coverage of Great Britain's Davis Cup quarter-final tie against Italy in Naples.

It is the first time that GB have reached this stage of the competition since 1986, but it will be a tough challenge to progress further, with Italy opting to play the tie on clay, traditionally the least favourite surface of British players. However, the visitors' team includes Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, who is the highest-ranked player in action at the Tennis Club Napoli.
